his_o debt_n to_o the_o one_o and_o challenge_v it_o of_o the_o other_o be_v there_o any_o injustice_n in_o this_o if_o you_o go_v high_o and_o say_v that_o god_n decree_v to_o permit_v the_o fall_n of_o adam_n you_o have_v be_v before_o answer_v that_o his_o decree_n or_o purpose_n to_o permit_v he_o to_o fall_v do_v not_o compel_v or_o enforce_v he_o to_o fall_v but_o leave_v he_o still_o to_o his_o own_o free_a will_v he_o receive_v in_o the_o creation_n whereby_o he_o be_v enable_v to_o stand_v if_o he_o have_v woo_a it_o therefore_o still_o appear_v that_o the_o fault_n be_v to_o be_v

all_o the_o thing_n themselves_o do_v make_v &_o whatsoever_o be_v the_o
therefore_o can_v be_v no_o sacrament_n for_o who_o be_v he_o at_o this_o day_n that_o have_v this_o miraculous_a gift_n of_o heal_v the_o sick_a by_o anoint_v they_o with_o oil_n i_o popish_a

to_o cleanse_v to_o sanctify_v to_o regenerate_v i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v say_v so_o to_o do_v not_o that_o it_o have_v these_o virtue_n enclose_v in_o it_o 3.5_o or_o do_v these_o thing_n
